Forecasts

Heroique De Maulde (11/8), Croagh Patrick (3/1), Tupelo Mississippi (4/1), On Springs (13/2), The Mighty Arc (8/1), Fanzio (9/1), Buster Valentine (10/1), Road Warrior (14/1)

The most appealing of these is French-import HEROIQUE DE MAULDE, who has performed with plenty of credit in a couple of runs at Newcastle for present connections and he may well be capable of better given his low mileage. Croagh Patrick has a fair bit going for him having put in a good shift here recently and he is second choice ahead of The Mighty Arc, who is capable of a bold show if he puts his best foot forward.
